Strongest team we've got tonight with injuries and international call ups. This is a banana skin as the Dragons are coming up without pressure and with our front liners away. However I think a bonus point win is essential for us especially as Leinster are at home to Benneton tonight. So hopefully the guys coming in and coming back from injury can put their hands up. Big game.

Mentally, I'm going to Shire's Lowland League game away at Berwick Rangers then heading up afterwards...

Surely rather than sticking Dobie on the wing we must have some youngster that can play on the wing? Were only down McClean to injury and  Jones and Tuipolotu in the centre and Rowe and Steyn of the back 3 to internationals in the backs arent we?

The full list of those unavailable from the website:
 

Quote

 

Unavailable for selection: Fraser Brown (knee), Gregor Brown (knee), Sebastian Cancelliere (neck), Richie Gray (bicep), Jack Mann (ankle), Ally Miller (calf), JP du Preez (knee), Ollie Smith (knee), Sione Vailanu (knee), Murphy Walker (knee)

International duty: Scott Cummings, Rory Darge, Jack Dempsey, Matt Fagerson, Zander Fagerson, George Horne, Huw Jones, Kyle Rowe, Sione Tuipulotu, George Turner.

 

So from that, Cancelliere and Smith are injured, with the 3 you mentioned on international duty. If you meant Rufus McLean, he will rightly never play for Glasgow again.

On Dobie, I presume they just want him on the field after his injuries. He's played pretty capably on the wing for Glasgow in the past as well.

Rufus McLean is no longer a Glasgow player and back in the USA

I'm starting to wonder if wing is the plan for Dobie now. He looks ok there, he's quick, a good carrier and better in the air than I thought he'd be. With Afshar coming through we look well stocked at scrum half for a while at least.

When have Glasgow never been stocked for scrum half? I can't remember the last time Edinburgh developed their own, that has gone on to be  regular.

I'm sure the rumour was SA and Australia as the big two. Pretty sure Argentina have a full fixture list that doesn't include us.

Actually think it would be great if one of them was against Portugal - an emerging nation, and something different to what we normally have. It's a shame the football team play Portugal in September and October, or it could have been a great wee November double header
